Song Jingchen raised his eyebrows. It was good that he knew. Otherwise, he would have to waste his breath explaining.

He looked around but didn’t see a chair. He could only sit on the ground opposite Shangguan Pu.

“That’s right. It’s said that the Valley of Heavenly Secrets only a.s.sists people on the level of emperors and generals. Then do you know that the Heart

Devouring Poison you used to control those women came from the Valley of

Heavenly Secrets?”

“Oh, and the poison you fed the emperor also came from the Valley of Heavenly Secrets.”

Shangguan Pu’s eyes narrowed. He had a guess, but he still didn’t dare to believe it and asked again, “What do you mean?”

Song Jingchen inexplicably thought that if Shen Yijia was here, she would definitely scold him, “It means that you’re a big fool.”

He resisted the urge to smile. He clenched his fists and coughed lightly. “I mean that you… have always been a p.a.w.n in someone else’s hands.”

In order to prevent him from lying to himself, Song Jingchen continued, “Actually, from the moment the person who provided you with the poison appeared by your side, you no longer had a chance of succeeding. Of course, you might think that you’re the person chosen by the Valley of Heavenly Secrets, but if that’s the case, why didn’t the other party tell you their true ident.i.ty? With the background of the Valley of Heavenly Secrets, you’ll definitely be able to put that person in an important position, right? That person didn’t say anything because they were just using you and didn’t trust you at all.”

Knowing the Valley of Heavenly Secrets, he naturally knew how many emperors they had a.s.sisted in the previous dynasty. Coupled with the rumors and their divination skills…

If anyone with ambition knew that there was such a person by their side, they would definitely treat the person as an honored guest.

“How do you know that the person didn’t tell me their true ident.i.ty?” Shangguan Pu said angrily.

Song Jingchen looked at him as if he was looking at a fool.

If he really knew, he would not have reacted like that when Song Jingchen asked about the Valley of Heavenly Secrets.

Shangguan Pu was speechless.

He clenched his fist and smashed it on the ground, causing the chains in his hand to rattle.

He turned his head away. “Are you trying to tell me that the True Dragon chosen by the Valley of Heavenly Secrets is my fifth brother?”

Song Jingchen shook his head. “It’s not him.”

“Could it be you?”

Song Jingchen was a little helpless. “I told you from the beginning that even without me, you wouldn’t have succeeded.”

He suspected that Shangguan Pu had lost his mind because he had suffered too many blows.

“Then who the h.e.l.l is it?”

“I don’t know yet, but I think the answer will be revealed soon.”

Shangguan Pu was speechless.

“So you just came to show me that I’m a fool who’s been played by someone from head to toe?”

“I just want you to know that I’m not your real enemy.”

“Heh.” Shangguan Pu sneered. “So? I’m about to die. What’s the use of knowing this? Can I seek revenge on them?”

Song Jingchen thought for a moment. “The person chosen by the Valley of Heavenly Secrets used you to fight me and hid behind the scenes to reap the benefits. If you’re gone, I’ll naturally be the next person they want to deal with. ”

“So when you die, I should be able to avenge you.”

Shangguan Pu choked and inexplicably understood what he meant.

“You think too highly of yourself,” he mocked.

Song Jingchen raised his eyebrows and didn’t comment.

“Tell me the real reason why you came to look for me.” Shangguan Pu finally recovered his wits.

“Firstly, the antidote for the Heart Devouring Poison. Secondly, I want to know the entire process of you framing Ah Han back then.”

Even if all the evidence pointed to Shangguan Pu, Song Jingchen didn’t think that he was the only one who did this.

After all, Shangguan Pu had always shown his ambition on his face, so the Eastern Palace was always on guard against him. It was impossible for him to place so many things in the Eastern Palace without anyone knowing.

Song Jingchen was inclined to believe that someone helped him.

Perhaps even Shangguan Pu himself didn’t know about the existence of this helper, just like how he didn’t know that he had been used for so many years.

In Song Jingchen’s opinion, Shangguan Pu deserved to die, but he also didn’t want to let go of the person hiding behind the scenes and controlling everything.

Shangguan Pu’s pupils constricted. “You…”

He wanted to ask Song Jingchen how he found out, but when he thought of the cowardly old prince, he understood.

He laughed self-deprecatingly and lazily leaned his head against the wall. “The apothecary only gave me a suppressant for the poison. However, you’ve really impressed me.”

He knew that what happened back then was related to him, but he could still talk to him calmly here.

In the past, no matter how famous Song Jingchen was, Shangguan Pu would always scorn him. However, he was convinced now.

If he could be of use to him…

Unfortunately, from the moment the two of them were born, they were destined not to be on the same side.

Song Jingchen didn’t say anything and waited for him to continue.

“I can tell you, but you have to help me do two things.”

“Tell me about it.” It was hard to say if he could do it.

Shangguan Pu glanced at him. “Firstly, Fourth Brother doesn’t know anything about what I’ve done. It doesn’t matter if he’s sent to a poor place to be an idle lord or demoted to a commoner. Help me protect his life.”

“Secondly, Kang’er is still young. He’s also innocent.”

“Which of those women weren’t innocent?” Song Jingchen sneered.

“Someone has to sacrifice themselves for the throne.” Shangguan Pu didn’t feel that he had done anything wrong.

Most of the people he captured were children of poor families. They could not even eat their fill at home, so they might as well be used by him.

Song Jingchen didn’t continue to argue with him. “Since others can sacrifice themselves, why can’t your child bear the consequences of your actions?”

This was because Shangguan Pu had the typical thinking of a superior. Perhaps in his opinion, those women should feel honored to be able to contribute to his negative karma. There was no point in arguing..
